Paint & Polish Volume II

About two weeks ago Wes and I (along with our friends Heather and Scottie) went to the Super Chevy Car Show at the Virginia Motorsports Park. Almost a year ago we went to a car show where I got the brilliant idea of passing time by comparing paint jobs to nail polish (see post here). It was so much fun for me that I did it again and the paint colors (and cars) did not disappoint. 

Let's get to it...

This mint colored Bel-Air Wagon was one of my favorite paint jobs of the day. I saw mint green and was thinking "does that owner have any idea how hot that color is right now??" Immediately I thought of Essie's Mint Candy Apple. It's a favorite polish among Essie lovers and if I owned that car I would totally match my nails to my car and not even care!

OPI's Into the Night from The Spiderman collection is a great match up for this blue 1955 Bel-Air. Mendi and I recently won a giveaway of The Spiderman mini's (from Michelle at My Simple Life - thanks again!!) and this blue one was included. Can't wait to try it out so my nails can look as hot as the blue paint on this baby.

A few of our friends got the Color Club Disco Nap nail polish in their May Birchbox so when I saw this Malibu in all of its metallic gold glory I instantly thought of this polish. I love metallics and I love gold so this is a match made in heaven.

Did someone say HOT ORANGE?? This color has been a fave here on HLNC so much that we even dedicated a Friday's Fancies post solely to crushing on HOT ORANGE (you can see that post here). Essie's Orange, It's Obvious is a perfect match for this Camaro. A second runner up for this polish could also be Essie's Ole Caliente. 

When I caught a glimpse of this interior I was thinking "Oh no he didn't!". That is surely a match for the Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Check it Out. Houndstooth on your nails and on your car seats...say what? I loved these seats and kind of wanted to just hang out inside the car but I don't think the owner would have appreciated that. 

This '69 Chevelle just screamed China Glaze Argo from The Hunger Games Collection. It was shimmery, but not too sparkly and so so pretty. This is a polish that Mendi nor I have in our collection but after seeing this car I think we might "need" it. That is...if we can find it!

With neons being all the rage right now I had to snap a pic of this Chevy II Nova in all of its lime green glory. I was thinking of a polish that I almost bought at Target not too long ago, the Sally Hansen Just in Lime, but I can't find an image of that anywhere. So I pulled another one that  I saw at Ulta recently called Piggy Polish in Envy. Looks like a really fun color for summer. We've never tried this brand, have any of you guys?

This Bel-Air made me happy with it's bright blue paint. I couldn't come up with an exact polish on the spot but after looking around I found Orly's Frisky. Perfect match for this sweet ride. There's no shimmer in the paint or in the polish...just a nice shiny creme. Check out the dice (or die as I'm assuming there are two of them). Every old car like this needs them!

Now this one might be a bit of a stretch but I was inspired. This Bel-Air had one of the coolest paint jobs there and I really wanted to showcase it but wasn't sure how. Then I thought of all of those magnetic polishes like the nails inc. Wave Magnetic polish in Trafalgar Square. the magnet helps to create designs on your nails kind of like how there are designs in this paint. To see what I'm gabbing about just check out Addicted to OPI's post about this polish here.

I really hope you guys enjoyed this second installment of Paint & Polish. It was really fun for me to put this together and it made my husband want to buy a muscle car and made me want to buy more nail polish. Wonder why?!! Oh and please forgive me if I have misidentified any of the cars.

Please drop me a comment and let me know what you think!
